If my editor has to buy InCopy, why do I have a version of it in my Adobe CC account?

Question

I’m basically asking why do I (a designer that uses InDesign) have Adobe InCopy if I won’t use it. I use InDesign. The answer I keep getting online is that Adobe InCopy is used so that my editor can edit my InDesign files. But I can’t share my copy of InCopy with my editor, correct? She’ll need to buy her own copy of InCopy. So what’s the point of giving it to me then in Adobe CC? It’s of no use to me, correct? Or am I missing something?

No use to YOU, perhaps, but it’s quite handy to have it available for InCopy workflows so if something comes up you can see what the collaborators are seeing.

An InCopy-only subscription is only $5/month and includes all the extras of a CC subscription including Adobe fonts and Adobe Portfolio website. Even without InCopy it’s worth the $5/month.
